Yes
Post processing is disabled with a unlocked bootloader (looks better in my opinion)
But you can flash a kernel that has the DRM Fix which re-enables DRM content (post processing included)

It cannot be improved from 8 to 12mp!!
Who whispered this?
They are just tweaked to some extent for clear view, more clarity, less lags, etc.
Like changing colors, saturation, etc.

Hi,
See this topic in xda forum "[ROM][JB 4.1.1]Suvi ROM _V6 Jupiter_ [25 Mar 2013]". In here that guy who build the rom told it that the camera is patched to 12 mp and the front camera to 1.3. That's what i asked.
I think he improved the 8 mp camera quality into 12 mp camera quality by tweaking, when we compare the picture quality it will equal to the 12 MP right? (Is this what is mean in that page right?)
Its not really and upgrade, but you still can see the difference when you use your camera from stock and upgrading to V6 Suvi rom. It is much more clearer.

It is possible.
It is not about upgrading from 8MP to 12MP.... It is something to use the hardware at its real capacity. The camera installed on A110 can capture images up to 12MP but Micromax has limited it to 8MP. Refer to the device being sold as 'Mobistel Cynus T2' in Germany...it has same hardware all across...no change at all...and has a 12 MP camera.
So cheers! You can have it.
Thanks buddy

when i tried to increase the camera quality from 8MP to 12MP, it just did not function properly.. following are the 2 pics taken from both the camera options we get after installing 12MP camera patch..
the colors just get changed.. (The image with green tint is captured using 12MP, and blue one is the original pic, using 8MP)
This is a common problem. Just go to settings of camera after launching it and click on Restore Defaults. This will get your camera back to normal. This is just a one-time effort you need to do after patching 12MP camera.

BAd camera tried it
I have 3 camera installed...
1) google camera - for photosphere and panorama, everything else about it is subpar in my humble opinion...
2) built in rom camera - use it b/c it does everything (decent)
3) dslr camera pro - playstore ($2.99) awesome options/settings for crisp still (only takes pix, no video)
* Patiently waiting for someone to PLEASE port LG G3 camera to AOSP... Someone PLEASE port that bad boy!!

Ok that Lenovo Super Camera is pretty slick. Has some pretty cool features, just have to learn them. Doesnt have 4k video recording and a couple feature do crash the app but still...
Im using Cyanogen camera (from Oneplus One). Its almost as good as stock LG. I would be ok using Google cam IF IT COULD SAVE TO F**** SD CARD!
Look in the general android apps section on XDA and flash the motorola camera
Never had the Cannot connect to camera since and it is as good as stock except no 4k camera
None of these work arounds support 4k recording either.
Whats the point of having such a great camera/video when it cant do either via a stock rom.
Ill always be using stock based roms till that gets sorted.

By the way, the G3 does not record 4k. 4k is Ultra HD (3840 x 2160). The G3 is Quad HD (2560 x 1440). Just FYI

Just so you know. LG G3's display is 2K . LG G3 can record in 4K resolution. ).
ummm ^^ on aosp we are already using stock LG drivers is the camera app that doesn't work the best with the drivers.. that's because LG drivers are closed sources and can't be modified.. so until devs will port stock G3 camera app... all the camera apps will not work correctly in quality of pictures... but till now the best for me is google camera from playstore https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.GoogleCamera

just to Help him on explain LG G3 is 2K that means 4 times 1280x720p and twice 1920x1080 that means 2560x1440 that is called usually QHD (quad HD = 4 x 720p) so.. yeah twice of a QHD is the 4K UHD (Ultra HD = 3840x2160) so.. in less words we have a 2K screen and a 4K capable camera

LG v10 vs. Z5 Premium

Hi,
at the moment I'm thinking about switching from LG v10 to Sony Z5 Premium, but I'm not quite sure about it just yet. V10 has few very important features (to me) which I'm not sure Z5 Premium has. I would really appreciate if someone checked the list and told me if it's possible on Z5 Premium. Thank you.
LG v10 Features:
Changing of quick android buttons (downline with back/home/apps buttons)
Quick snap of a photo and possibility to draw on it and edit it immediately after taking the shot
Manual Videa and Photo (if it's not possible, is there a way to use LG v10 camera on Z5)
Is the smaller size of the device a big problem?
Can I control TV/Projectors/Air Condition by using of the phone?
Is this phone lagging when I use it a lot? (LG v10 does lag quite often)
Can I use fingerprint scanner to unlock apps?
[Ill add new ideas, at the moment I can't think of any other]

Hello, we have so great phone, but i want to sell it! one reason is that - word is talking about Google camera, which have amazing Hdr+ and Best portrait mode... Developer @B.S.G ported this camera for Xiaomi and after other develepers made mod versions for other phones (this mods is working almost at all phones), and this two amazing Mode (portrait, Hdr+) is working great and bad cameras with Gcam mod are shooting great pictures! We have so good smartphone, but camera is not so good that it must to be! And we can't use Google camera mod, because our phone have not full support of Camera2api And no one can to Port this great Camera for XZ Premium users But maybe there is someone who can help us to enable camera2 api and make Gcam mod version for us, it will be great and I think it will be work at our device very good....

Yo dude google camera is indeed improving the picture you took with your smartphone, in fact it's a lot. Take a look at this video comparing <€150 Xiaomi phones with stock camera, Ported google camera, and Google pixel 2, and you can see that the result is night and day compared to the stock camera app, and even matching the photos taken with the Google pixel 2! So don't underestimate this app, it's ported and wanted by many community for a reason, it's not just a ****ty apps in play store, this is the app that makes the google pixel known for its camera.

The google cam version is 5.1.018.177470874.
HDR+ thing doesn't work, in fact the app is detecting my phone's rom as custom ( my phone is NOT unlocked or modded... Yet)
There's no "Portrait mode" but instead the "Lens blur" mode which is actually the same? Correct me if im wrong
The app itself runs smoothly, no crashes. Just like the stock camera app. Just tell me if you want the link though. And i'll try to make comparisons between the stock camera app and google cam app soon. (My connection is so bad rn i can't upload images)

Sadly you need root for that , which is not attainable right now without unlocking the bootloader.
Lack of RAW mode is a real turn off on this Phone, my old Lumia 950XL took amazing photos and had an insanely powerful flash. If I'm completely honest, the camera and flash are the weakest part of this device so I can easily see why folk want to try and mod it. Actually, in an ironic twist, the screen delivers a brighter flash then the actual flash, to bad its the wrong way around to help the camera.
It is very sad that such a good smartphone would turn into this huge disappointment. Most of the camera apps that I've used are Laggy and use only 8mp
Maybe there is someone, who can active full camera2api? And make gcam mod for sony?
